I got custom tips for my Etymotic HF3 iems. The tips seem to be in good shape still, but the HF3’s are falling apart. According to the comply site, HF3 uses Comply 100’s. Is it true that I can probably reuse my tips with any iems that fit Comply 100’s? Or are they only good on the near dead HF3’s?
I’m just wondering what I could get as a replacement that they would fit, since my custom tips are really comfortable. If you need a specific headphone, I was thinking maybe Etymotic ER4XR. I’m not Ety loyal though and anything roughly as good as my Crossfade 2 Wireless Codex Edition without burning up my ears that is either super comfortable on its own or would fit my tips. Bonus points if it is wireless, since I don’t lose any quality that I notice going between wired and wireless. I listen mostly to rock and metal, plus whatever Lindsey Stirling is (instrumental?).
I’ve just been wearing AirPods most of the summer. I’m no audiophile but even I can tell those don’t sound as good as my Crossfades. They’re near as comfortable as customs and fine for podcasts or audiobooks though. No hot ears with comfort and less of a quality trade off is my ultimate goal, and if I could do it without needing new custom tips whether by reusing these or just naturally comfortable headphones without constantly shelling out for more foam, then great.
